Riley’s Army is in need of Hospital Volunteers to offer support to our families (and potential families) and their children while they are in the hospital. You will be the face of Riley's Army, someone the family can rely on to provide help to them with their needs and more information about what Riley's Army does.
It is our hope that, as our families get closer to us, they will experience that special connection, and will feel more comfortable attending events, asking for assistance and talking with someone who cares about them.
We are also looking for volunteers to serve as Family Coordinators. We will introduce you to one family that you will have regular contact with, send monthly updates to us for our prayer requests, and keep us informed of any changes or concerns so we can update the information in our database.
As a Family Coordinator, you will be the point of contact for when they are in need of our services: gas cards for families out of town, meals while they are in the hospital, frozen meals to take home for those long, tiring days they are in the clinic and need an easy meal to pop into the oven, respite care for families in the hospital, etc.
Family Coordinators are an essential part in making our families feel that special bond to Riley’s Army. We are currently serving over 50 families, and it would be wonderful to have a Family Coordinator for each one.
Please let us know if you are interested by filling out the Volunteer Application Form under the "Interested in Helping" link or emailing kastone21@yahoo.com.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Riley's Army is planning many exciting events and fundraisers for the 2012 year. Some include: 4th Annual Pediatric Survivor's Dinner and Relay for Life in April, 2nd Annual Bike Ride for the Children in August, 4th Annual Jersey Auction in the fall, and many other events in between. Please continue to check back for more information on all these events as the plans continue to be finalized.
Thank you for your support to RA!
